"Wild Horse (717 Tapes)" lyrics - WARREN ZEIDERS

Well, it's time to move along, I guess
Everything I love, I leave behind
Standin' in a field out west
One thing on my heart, one on my mind
She rolls like the thunder, flies like the wind
Out where the river don't end
I burned all the bridges left in my life
Ain't comin' back again

[Chorus:]
This cowboy's all alone
Ridin' down that old two-lane
The whiskey goes down slow
So close your eyes and grab the reins
All the miles and the tears through the long, hard years
Like a dust storm, I'm headin' north
Spent my life chasin' a wild, wild horse

Was born into a lifelong curse
She whispers in my ear late every night
The liquor doesn't quench my thirst
It doesn't change a thing how hard I fight
She's cold as the winter out on the plains
Like footsteps on frozen ground
Nothing can break her, no one can tame
Somethin' that can't be found

[Chorus:]
This cowboy's all alone
Ridin' down that old two-lane
The whiskey goes down slow
So close your eyes and grab the reins
All the miles and the tears through the long, hard years
Like a dust storm, I'm headin' north
Spent my life chasin' a wild, wild horse

[Bridge:]
Twenty-two years ridin' back and forth
I threw it all away on a wild horse

[Chorus:]
This cowboy's all alone
Ridin' down that old two-lane
Whiskey goes down slow
Close your eyes and grab the reins
All the miles and the tears through the long, hard years
Like a dust storm, I'm headin' north
Spent my life chasin'
Oh, a wild, wild horse

[Outro:]
It's time to move along, I guess
Everything I love, I leave behind
